Can the pop-up flash of NEX-7 remote-trigger Sony HVL-F43M? Or, is there a wireless TTL system that can trigger Sony HVL-F43M from NEX-7?

The popup flash in the NEX can optically trigger the HVL-F43M flash. No TTL.

You may not be aware that the Sony A55 already has built in wireless technology that allows the Sony A55 to trigger other Sony compatible remote flash units with wireless capability - such as the Sony HVL-F58AM and HVL-F42AM.To answer your question, Sony's external flash hot shoe is proprietary meaning it is not compatible with this Canon/Nikon trigger. There are other less expensive 3rd party triggers designed for Sony, such as the Rainbowimaging Wireless Flash Trigger Designed for Sony Alpha DSLR A55 (Under$20). Or you can still use this Canon trigger if you are willing to purchase an adapter such as the Yongnuo YN-H3 (under $6). I hope this has helped.

i asked sigma what triggers would work using the flash on a sony (alpha mount) camera...here's their response..."I believe the Pocket Wizard Transceivers, GVI radio slaves and some units from Venca will function with them..."...

I don't have that particular flash, but if recievers and transmitters are on the same channel the flash should fire. If you have a simple transceiver the flashes will not recieve any of Auto (TTL, HSS, etc) functions from the camera. They will have to be set manually. Another option is to use the built in optic trigger. There is some control from the camera but is limited to line of sight.

I used with a Sony alpha 55 and the menu has a selection for using with a remote device so I set it to on and everything worked fine. Afraid I cannot help you with the NEX-5N.

You may need a wireless remote flash trigger, liken the NEEWER PT-16GY 16 Channels Wireless Remote Flash Speedlite Trigger for Canon SpeedLite, see it on Amazon for just $15.00, they also have very illustrative pictires.

NO. This flash is full manual, no CLS, TTL, or High-Speed Sync. But it is built like a brick. In a good way. There are (all of a sudden) a bunch of third-party manufacturers building products that have Nikon or Canon's proprietary TTL technologies built in. I don't know about other manufacturers, but I know this: everyone is using the Yongnuo brand flashes and digital controllers. They fit right in with your existing Nikon gear, and while they aren't built as well as the LumoPro, they are around $100/ea, so if it breaks, get another one. Or three. At these prices, you really can be like Joe McNally and have a bucket of speed lights. Here is the flash on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Yongnuo-YN565EXN-USA-i-TTL-Speedlite-Warranty/dp/B00I44F59A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1428023722&sr=8-2&keywords=yongnuo+nikon+ttl Make sure you buy the latest version. When you view the page, you will see the wireless triggers in the accessories pane. Hope this helps.

All this is, is a raw converter from the normal hot shoe that most makers use, to fit the hot shoe that Sony uses on its NEX series cameras. So yes you will be able to fit the flash on to your NEX, but most of the functions like TTL will not work, so you'll have to manually calibrate the flash, which can be tricky. If you really depend on a flash for your photography with the NEX, I'd recommend you consider buying the dedicated Sony flashes for simplicity & less frustrations. They do sell flash converters that allow some functionality of the non Sony flash, but these are much more expensive.

Photographers can wirelessly trigger TTL flashes, retaining full TTL functions, as well as remotely control power and flash zoom settings. Shooting with off-camera TTL flash has been made incredibly easy.

There are two ways: use the flash on your camera as the trigger or by using one of the included wireless remote trigger. The trigger attahces to the shoe horn on the camera. The nice piece, the triggers for the flashes are external, so if you have a set you can just plug in using the mini headphone type plug. The set has adapter for other sizes like 1/4" plug, etc.

One thing I would highly recommend if you are shooting with Canon is to use the YN-622C-TX (transmitter for the camera) and YN-622C (transceivers for each flash). Yongnuo has a version of this for Nikon, but I haven't ever used it or tested it. There are a lot of guides and comparisons on youtube for wireless flash triggers. One video I would check out is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajwPYxZE8Bs with Tony Northrup. He explains features of several different ones. Again, hope this helps! :-)

The remote works fine with my Nex-7. Make sure you have set the camera to respond to the remote (menu button -> Camera -> Drive Mode -> Remote Cdr.). The remote must be aimed at the front of the camera (at least on the Nex-7). If it still doesn't work then try reversing the battery. There is no blinking light on the remote.

The wireless flash system will work with any camera so long as the remote (the one with the antenna) is on the camera hotshoe. Despite the label that this is meant for Olympus cameras, the wireless flash system does not do TTL metering of any kind. They label this as Olympus compatible because it comes with a cable that allows you to connect the camera via the cable to one of the flash triggers, and then use the remote as a wireless shutter trigger. So for a wireless flash system, it will work with any camera brand because it does not support any kind of TTL metering. It will work so long as the camera has a hotshoe. This will work as a wireless shutter trigger primarily for Olympus cameras because it comes with a cable for Olympus cameras. I guess it will also work as a wireless trigger for other cameras if you have the proper cable for those camera manufacturers. Source: Personal Use. I've been using this Olympus compatible set since June 2013.

Yeah. I work with sony a77 with FA-HS1AM adapter (must be modified - too low voltage to start trigger!!!). Nikon - works good. Leica works good too. Flash complex by Aurora (Korea)

I bought these items to go with my Sony A700 and A900. Both these cameras have the "Sony" hot shoe on them and the transmitter works with them. The receiver also has the "Sony" hot shoe so it works with "Sony" flashes and will not fit a regular"standard" flash unit, which is basically every other brand including the Neewer. The newer Sony cameras and flashes are changing over to the same standard as every other brand has, however the A77 has the older style hotshoe I believe. That said I also use these triggers with my studio strobes connecting with the included sync cord. Wanting to give you a good answer I spent some time looking at the photos of the items you are considering buying and I noticed that the photos showed two different versions of the item and the headline of the ad listed a different model number than the product details listed below. The photos are also confusing because some show a standard hot shoe and others the Sony hot shoe. My suggestion is to buy the "Sony" trigger and a "standard" receiver. What adds to the confusion is that the two different styles both have the same model number!! I bought an extra receiver so I could trigger two flashes and I have been pleased with the products so far.

Yes but only with a hotshoe adapter since the NEX-6 shoe is different from the NEX-7. No for remote trigger unless extra hardware is purchased. Not a good choice if wireless remote use is important.
